A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
The weeping Japanese maple is categorized as a medium sized tree or large shrub which generally reaches a height of about 8 ft with at maximum a 12 ft spread. The leaves are shaped in a lace pattern and are colored in a purple hue during the summer months turning red towards autumn.
